I see arguments of this form from Christian Nationalists a lot:
1. If we were Christian, we would ban {a bunch of things like feminism}.
2. We really want to ban those things since they're bad.
3. Therefore, we should force Christianity on folks.
This is an affirming the consequent fallacy.
Further, we don't need to force this religion to ban bad things. Christianity, as history has shown, also brings its own bad things.
@philosophy @UncleIroh @basedbagel Looks like you've have been having a lively discussion.

Morality doesn't matter. Only consequences. Humans respond to consequences. That's why Christianity has failed or been corrupted. It was neutered of it's consequences.
It's rewards and consequences are promised too far away - after death. Death isn't real to most people anymore until old age.
They are no immediate consequences unless we are bringing back stoning.
@redmaple @DoubleD @philosophy @UncleIroh @YoMomz
I mostly agree that we need consequences and stoning is a good start.
I do believe morality does matter because if you ignore it long enough you can lose the ability to live with yourself and go crazy
